Welcome to Phillip Helbig's home page

Hopefully the pictures will aid folks trying to recognize me, then or now.

Want to know why I've stopped submitting to arXiv?

An ideal present, for Christmas or any other occasion, for yourself or for anyone interested in astronomy, is a book which I have translated from German to English, namely The Cambridge Photographic Atlas of Galaxies (Cambridge as in Cambridge University Press). It is chock full of beautiful full-colour pictures of galaxies, with detailed descriptions of each object, often as a jumping-off point for discussion of more-general concepts, as well as several chapters of background material. The level is somewhere between a typical popular-astronomy book and a textbook. See the first link in this paragraph for links to reviews and the second for a preview and for ordering the book.

To get the most out of my pages, please see the user's guide to my web pages, which gives an overview of the structure of my pages and my reasons for constructing them this way. Perhaps you only want to know what's new.

I am in the process of updating my web pages. Within the next few weeks, things might change more often than normally, might be inconsistent etc. So check back soon. Please note that, although it is neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition, if a page was last modified a considerable time ago, it might be out of date, especially if it is concerned with something which can change with time.

Feel free to contact me...

I used to have a lot of contact information here. As always, of course, the best way to contact me is by email. Other relevant contact information will appear here when appropriate.

I used to work at the stock exchange. I got to work with VMS at the stock exchange, which is what attracted me to the position. I also appreciated the chance to learn about Rdb.
